About product

Montex 1:32 masking set for the Hurricane Mk.I

A masking set in 1:32 scale for modelers who are building a Hurricane Mk.I and want the canopy frames sprayed rather than painted in with a brush. The package holds self-adhesive masks only, no modeling parts. The cut is based on the clear parts of the Fly or Pacific Coast Models kits, so use the set with exactly those.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was a British fighter whose fuselage was built around a tubular framework; the forward section was covered with sheet metal, the rear originally with fabric. Power came from a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and the armament consisted of 7.7 mm machine guns in the wings. Parts that affect masking changed during production as well, namely the shape of the canopy and the glazing behind the headrest. Mk.I machines also differed in their wings, the fabric-covered ones being replaced over time by all-metal units.

How to keep paint from seeping under the mask

The most common trouble when masking glazing is not an inaccurate cut but paint seeping under the edge of a mask by capillary action. The effective safeguard is simple: once the masks are down, spray the edge with a thin coat of clear varnish or of the interior shade. Any gap is filled by that very coat and the main color can no longer get underneath. Hold the airbrush square to the surface, not at a shallow angle to the edge of a mask, and keep the air pressure on the lower side.

Who the set is for

  • builders of British fighters from the start of the Second World War in 1:32 scale
  • modelers who want a crisp transition between glazing and frame
  • those who work with an airbrush and are after precise masking
  • anyone wanting to shorten the preparatory work

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it holds painting masks only. The kit, the paints and the glue have to be obtained separately.

The shape and the division of the glazing differ between manufacturers. A mask cut for one model does not fit another and the frames would not come out right.

Once it is down, spray the edge with a thin coat of clear varnish or of the interior shade. That fills any gap before the covering color arrives.

We do not recommend it. Once lifted it loses both dimensional accuracy and tack, so count on a single use.
